INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta
2 cups Fresh Spinach
1/2 cup Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 medium Lemon (zest and juice)
2 cloves Garlic
0.5 tbsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Sauté the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side or until cooked through. Remove from skillet and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and lemon zest, mixing well to create a creamy sauce.
Add the cooked pasta and fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring until the spinach wilts and everything is evenly coated in the sauce.
Return the sliced chicken to the skillet, gently tossing to combine all ingredients and warm the chicken.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm.
